Maxine Bryce Anxiety Psychotherapist & Wellbeing Coach
Helping You Create Calm, Confidence, and Lasting Transformation
I specialise in helping professionals, performers, and individuals in all walks of life overcome anxiety, overwhelm, and trauma to thrive in every aspect of their lives. With over two decades of experience, my approach combines compassion and proven strategies to help you heal, grow, and excel—even under pressure.
My Story.
My first career was in dance. From the age of 5, ballet exams gave me butterflies that evolved into agonizing anxiety over auditions. Simply the thought of going to an audition made me want to throw up—no matter what I tried, I couldn’t relax. Even though I was consistently successful, working for top choreographers on stages and television worldwide, the evidence of success didn’t change how I felt inside.
Life brought even greater challenges. After losing everything I owned in a fire on a Caribbean cruise ship and surviving a life-threatening experience in Iraq in 1982, I knew I had to make my life count.
Being held hostage in a foreign country, fearing for my life daily, forced me to dig deep to find strength I didn’t know I had. Overnight, I went from living in luxury to negotiating for survival. After four long months, I secured our release and returned home—at just 21 years old.
These events left me with a deep fear of loss. I lived in constant fear of losing everything again, always waiting for the next disaster. Life had shown me it couldn’t be trusted.
Determined to change, I began a journey of personal development, uncovering the unconscious patterns that kept me stuck. Transforming those patterns wasn’t just life-changing—it inspired me to help others do the same.
How I can help you:
For over 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of clients heal from:
Anxiety, panic, and overwhelm.
Trauma from childhood or past relationships.
Self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.
Burnout, stress, and fear of failure.
My work is tailored to meet you where you are, using proven techniques like NLP, EFT, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to help you uncover and release the root causes of what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll create a path toward calm, confidence, and the life you truly want.

Performance Excellence in Corporate and Competitive Arenas
My transition to the countryside and Agility training with my Cocker Spaniel introduced me to a unique niche—helping athletes and competitors overcome performance anxiety. A referral from a friend connected me with a dressage rider struggling with competition nerves, and she’s now on Team GB! My work in this area continues to grow through referrals, and I love helping performers and competitors achieve their full potential with confidence and focus.
Working alongside Olympic coaches in the corporate sector gave me vital tools for helping leaders and high-achievers thrive under pressure. I’ve coached executives, directors, and CEOs from international companies, including:
Toshiba
Colliers CRE
Janus Capital Group (US)
H&M
Eurostar
AXA Insurance
Balfour Beatty
The Omega Watch Company
National Farmers Union
